	<p>
		For a number of reasons, this cannot be put off.
		Not least of those reasons is that the completion of this degree marks the beginning of the countdown after which the school&apos;s censorship of my website ends.

	<p>
		My current work environment is toxic and I need to escape.
	</p>
	<p>
		Additionally, people are resistant to change.
		Even the people I&apos;ve asked to refer to me as a &quot;they&quot; refuse.
		In a brand new environment, I feel I would be more comfortable insisting and, as people wouldn&apos;t already be used to thinking of me as a man, people would be less resistant to accepting the fact that I&apos;m not one.

		I want to not only escape my current, toxic work environment, but also move to a work environment in which I can actually stand behind what I do and enjoy it.
		I&apos;ve got to finish learning to type before I can qualify for such a job though, and with how long that&apos;ll take me, I&apos;ll probably have my associate degree completed.

		Even right after I shave my face, the dark roots of my hair show through my skin.
		Shaving therefore doesn&apos;t even fix the facial hair problem fully even on a temporary basis.
		And then, it doesn&apos;t take long for it to grow back out.
		I need to look into something that will remove the hair at a deeper and likely permanent level.
		I wouldn&apos;t mind a permanent solution to arm, leg, and especially chest hair as well.

	<p>
		My voice is too masculine.
		I&apos;d like to get lessons to feminise it.
		I don&apos;t think I want to go through full feminisation through hormones and such, but having a sifter voice shouldn&apos;t be too much to ask.
		A feminine voice isn&apos;t going to help me pull off an androgynous air if I haven&apos;t already dealt with my facial hair problem though.

	<p>
		The head manager at work gave me paperwork relating to the company&apos;s new <abbr title="individual retirement account">IRA</abbr> provider.
		I need to actually deal with the paperwork soon to be sure there aren&apos;t further problems I need the person in charge to correct.

		My current laptop stopped freezing on me, so my fear that it&apos;s going to give up the ghost soon has subsided.
		However, when it does finally die, I&apos;ll need to have already set up a home Internet connection to continue my coursework.
		My current laptop is using Wi-Fi with a <abbr title="media access control">MAC</abbr> address whitelist, and the new machine has no way to get onto that whitelist.
		Additionally, having a home Internet connection will allow me to run a Minetest server and Web server.
		Palette Game has postponed the opening of my Minetest server by quite a bit though, as I need to now get the game into a usable state before opening the world to the public instead of just using the pre-built Minetest Game with a few extra mods.

	<p>
		I started building a test page that would demonstrate how my website&apos;s <abbr title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</abbr> causes all valid <abbr title="Extensible Hypertext Markup Language">XHTML</abbr> elements to render, but didn&apos;t have time to finish it.
		Having it done would help me notice bugs in the <abbr title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</abbr>.

	<p>
		To avoid variables getting overwritten by files in ways other files don&apos;t expect and to avoid unexpected values in variables files don&apos;t expect to be set yet, all variables are supposed to be set or reserved in one file of this website&apos;s build scripts.
		At some point, I should build code that enforces that.

		I haven&apos;t been on my own Web server in ages, and as such, have been unable to use proper <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol">HTTP</abbr> redirects.
		Until I&apos;m back on my own server, I should have JavaScript redirects set up to deal with cases where people either access the site without <abbr title="Transport Layer Security">TLS</abbr> or access the site using the wrong host name.

	<p>
		I&apos;ve wanted to learn a martial art for a while now.
		Martial arts training is supposed to help with discipline and fitness, both of which I need more of.
		It wouldn&apos;t be bad having a way to defend myself either in the unlikely event that I&apos;m ever attacked.
		With no way to get terms ahead in my coursework during slow periods, there&apos;s no way I can be sure  can dedicate time to martial arts training during busy periods.
		I&apos;ll need to complete my schooling before I even begin martial arts training.

<section id="vasectomy">
	<h2>Get a vasectomy</h2>
	<p class="goal-attributes">

	<p class="goal-ppstreq">
		Postrequisites: none
	</p>
	<p>
		After doing some thinking, I came to the conclusion that the post-vasectomy risk of accidental conception is worth it because there&apos;s an even greater chance that I could talk someone out of having children.
		I think what I find so unattractive about females is the risk of pregnancy and the fact that I&apos;m not the one that would get pregnant.
		(If I was the one to get pregnant, I could know with complete certainty that the pregnant one, me, would make the right choice and get an abortion.)
		If I greatly reduce the chance of pregnancy by getting a vasectomy, I think I could be bisexual instead of being exclusively attracted to males.
